What was your inspiration while writing this book, and what directions did you get from Lucasfilm? Your best known Star Wars book is of course The Truce at Bakura, which takes places almost directly after Return of the Jedi. You certainly did do your homework! I don’t live in that duplex anymore, so I have no idea. You once said that after you heard you got to write your first Star Wars novel your handprints were on the ceiling. That was an amazing visual effect in 1977! Most of all, I loved watching their faces when the Millennium Falcon went into hyperspace. The visuals were amazing, especially for the era.
What was it that you liked so much about Star Wars? I read that in the summer of 1977 you were such a big Star Wars fans that for two weeks, every day you took a friend to see the movie. Onlangs sprak ik deze bijzonder vriendelijke vrouw (die een echte fan is) over haar Star Wars periode… Ik heb het uiteraard over de Amerikaanse schrijfster Kathy Tyers die in de ‘ Star Wars renaissance jaren’ in de jaren 90 met haar boeken en korte verhalen enorm heeft bijgedragen aan de opbouw van de Expanded Universe. Haar bestseller The Truce at Bakura was ooit het directe vervolg op Return of the Jedi, ze schreef korte verhalen over Oola, Bossk en de Cantina band, was lang één van de auteurs die schreef voor de Adventure Journals van West End Games en Balance Point (waarvan hierboven de cover te zien is) uit de New Jedi Order reeks is van haar hand.
